Transcript: Workshop On The Future Of The Legal Course Book, Edward Rubin, Kellye Testy, Ronald Collins, David M. Skover

Seattle University Law Review

Most every law school right now is thinking about its curriculum. The Carnegie Report certainly was a big factor in spurring that, although curricular reform is something that law schools, of course, are always engaged in. It moves at a glacial pace sometimes. One of the things that really struck us here at Seattle University, as everyone started to talk about Carnegie and started to talk about curricular reform, is that it was, frankly, a bit of old news to us. Seattle University School of Law has always prided itself on being at the forefront of legal education in many …

Effect Of Using Threadfin Shad As Forage For Channel Catfish Fed Daily Or Every Third Day, Bartholomew W. Green, Peter Perschbacher, Gerald Ludwig Jan 2009

Effect Of Using Threadfin Shad As Forage For Channel Catfish Fed Daily Or Every Third Day, Bartholomew W. Green, Peter Perschbacher, Gerald Ludwig

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

We evaluated whether stocking threadfin shad Dorosoma petenense as a forage fish in multiple-batch production ponds for channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus could substitute for formulated feed when channel catfish were fed daily or every 3 d. A completely randomized design in a 232 factorial arrangement was used for the experiment, which was conducted in twelve 0.1-ha earthen ponds. Prespawn adult threadfin shad were stocked at 404 kg/ha in six of the ponds, whereas the remaining ponds received no threadfin shad. Channel catfish stockers (0.35 kg/fish) were stocked at 5,040 kg/ha, and fingerlings (28.2 g/fish) were stocked at 14,820 fish/ha. Channel …

Wus And Stm-Based Reporter Genes For Studying Meristem Development In Poplar, Y. Bao, P. Dharmawardhana, R. S. Arias, M. B. Allen, C. Ma, Steven H. Strauss Jan 2009

Wus And Stm-Based Reporter Genes For Studying Meristem Development In Poplar, Y. Bao, P. Dharmawardhana, R. S. Arias, M. B. Allen, C. Ma, Steven H. Strauss

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

We describe the development of a reporter system for monitoring meristem initiation in poplar using promoters of poplar homologs to the meristem-active regulatory genes WUSCHEL (WUS) and SHOOTMERISTEMLESS (STM). When ~3 kb of the 5' flanking regions of close homologs were used to drive expression of the GUSPlus gene, 50–60% of the transgenic events showed expression in apical and axillary meristems. However, expression was also common in other organs, including in leaf veins (40 and 46% of WUS and STM transgenic events, respectively) and hydathodes (56% of WUS transgenic events). Histochemical GUS staining of explants during callogenesis and shoot …

Vegetation Of Utah, R. Douglas Ramsey, Neil E. West Jan 2009

Vegetation Of Utah, R. Douglas Ramsey, Neil E. West

Wildland Resources Faculty Publications

In order to organize and facilitate management of Utah’s ecosystems, generalization of the ecological variation found across the state is necessary. Ecosystems involve complex interactions between environment and biota, and there have been many efforts to generalize and categorize these interactions in order to gain a better understanding of their structure and organization. The most common method of categorizing ecological variations across large landscapes today incorporates the ecoregion concept. Ecoregions are geographic delineations of landscapes containing ecosystems linked by similar climatic, geologic, soil, and landform characteristics. The primary characteristics used to delineate ecoregions vary depending on the overall goal of …

Dna Delivery From Matrix Metalloproteinase Degradable Poly (Ethylene Glycol) Hydrogels To Mouse Cloned Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Yuguo Lei, Tatiana Segura Jan 2009

Dna Delivery From Matrix Metalloproteinase Degradable Poly (Ethylene Glycol) Hydrogels To Mouse Cloned Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Yuguo Lei, Tatiana Segura

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Faculty Publications

The ability to genetically modify mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded inside synthetic hydrogel scaffolds would offer an alternative approach to guide MSC differentiation and to study molecular pathways in three dimensions than protein delivery. In this report, we explored gene transfer to infiltrating MSCs into matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) degradable hydrogels that were loaded with DNA/poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) polyplexes. DNA/PEI polyplexes were encapsulated inside poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels crosslinked with MMP degradable peptides via Michael Addition chemistry. A large fraction of encapsulated polyplexes remained active after encapsulation (65%) and the mechanical properties of the hydrogels were unchanged by the encapsulation …

Reputation Versus Reality: The Impact Of Us News And World Report Rankings And Education Branding On Hiring Decisions In The Job Market, Fausto D. Capobianco Jan 2009

Reputation Versus Reality: The Impact Of Us News And World Report Rankings And Education Branding On Hiring Decisions In The Job Market, Fausto D. Capobianco

Theses and Dissertations

Typically, leading brands provide benchmarks for constructing consumer preference in the marketplace. Reputation rankings have sustained and advanced the status of brand names in higher education with an implication that the degrees awarded by higher ranked schools have added prestige, a cachet with the potential of facilitating success in the job market. This implication makes reputation rankings a dependable tool for college and university marketing departments eager to increase student enrollment and retention by communicating its superiority among its peers. By examining the influence of reputation rankings on the pre-decision preferences of human resource hiring professionals in evaluating employment applicants, …

Diversity Congruency Within Organizations: The Relationship Among Emotional Intelligence, Personality Structure, Ethnic Identity, Organizational Context And Perceptions Of Organizational Diversity, David Hurlic Jan 2009

Diversity Congruency Within Organizations: The Relationship Among Emotional Intelligence, Personality Structure, Ethnic Identity, Organizational Context And Perceptions Of Organizational Diversity, David Hurlic

Theses and Dissertations

This study explores the relationship among Emotional Intelligence (EI) (consisting of perception and appraisal, facilitating thinking, understanding emotions, and regulating emotions), Personality Structure (FFM) (consisting of extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experiences), Ethnic Identity, Organizational Context (OC), and Perceptions of Organizational Diversity. It is hoped that by examining the impact of individual personality structures, as well as, ethnic identity and organizational context as precursors to individual perceptions between EI, Personality Structure, and diversity and affirmative action, a more coherent method of analysis is created allowing organizations to identify specific factors contributing to affirmative action and diversity program acceptance …

Latino Parents' Perceptions Of Their Involvement In Their Children's Secondary Education And The College Preparation Process, Ronald C. Heredia Jan 2009

Latino Parents' Perceptions Of Their Involvement In Their Children's Secondary Education And The College Preparation Process, Ronald C. Heredia

Theses and Dissertations

Involvement of Latino parents in their children's education and college preparation process is integral to the educational success of Latino students. This two-phase, mixed methods study explored the perspectives of Latino parents about their involvement in their children's education and college preparation process. First, archival data of the Path to College organization was examined for this study. Archival data were questionnaires completed by 132 Latino parents. Additionally, 5 separate semi-structured, face-to-face, focus groups were conducted with a sub-sample of 23 parents who had completed the questionnaire for the Path to College. All focus groups were conducted during the period of …
